The old New York Volunteer Fire De-
partment was very much Of an i%nstitu-
ton. 1t was a power in the city, and
the candidate was as anxious about the
fremen's vote o. he was about the Ger
man vote or the Irish vote, and more
than he was about the American vote.
We know one man here who was q small
boy then, and his business wal to gather
rocks and brickbats and pile them on his
machine to be ready when a fight &C.
Cured with any other company. And
how they did fight sometimes! The
"hard men OF each company were
known, and some Of the feuds extended
down for years and were renewed at
every fire. Now the remnant Of these
old chaps are coming West. They were
strong men once, and brave and active.
They took desperate risks sometimes to
ave life and property; they were a
boisterous company, but they were true
men oil the same. They should be vel.
coined all along the line. The last alarm
is going to sound for them soon. 1t is
good to strew their downward path with
howers.--Salt Lake Tribune.

Now that the mucb.amended and often
patched.up Land bill. remarks the Vir-
ginia Chronicle, formulated ostensibly
for the relief OF Ireland, is passed, il
will soon be realized how far the tenants
of Ireland are to be benefited by it. The
bill certainly eases the solvent tenants,
those who owe no arrears and can, espe-
oially under the reduction of rents that
the bill contemplates, keep themselves
square with their landlords. To them
the passage of the bill is o great boon.

They are left in the lurch by the same
bill that f~avorably affects their more for
tunate neighbors. There is no provision
in the bill for the relief Of q man who
owes for arrears, and he must still plod
on with the heavy burden at his back.
All the good the bill can do him he can.
not appreciate. for the debt must be
paid. From that there is no release.

Readers must receive with caution the
story Of the sinking Of an American
fishing schooner by a British man-of.war.
1t is q deplorable fact that t~elegraphed
sensations are generally unreliable. The
whole story is based On the alleged story
Of two unnamed fishermen. The Can
adam Government denies all knowledge
of the matter, and the American Gov.
eminent apparently knows as little.
The chances are that the whole thing
will prove to be a hoax.
The modern striving for sensation has
given rise to q class Of news-gatherers
who wiIlfully falsify in order to make a
story exciting. They not only exag.
gerate q simple everyday affair into q
romance, but they do not hesitate TO
even make up an entire sensation with.
out any foundation whatever, aud when
exposure is sure to follow. There was .
good illustration Of this fact in y~ester.
day mornings papers. One 81 them
contained q thrilling account column
and = half ~long-about q robber who
concealed himself in q coffin in order to
rob an express Office, and another paper
contained q ~telegraphic denial OF the en-
tire story, and a statement that it was
based on q story which appeared seven
years 20. The story Of the Canadian
cruiser sinking the American fishing boat
will probably be denied in due time.
A newspaper has no more right to
knowingly deceive the public with false
news than a grocer has to sell sand for
sugar. Each may gain for a short time,
but each loses in the long run. A news.
paper should be a news paper, and above
all things should be reliable. The popu-
larity Of the Report is due to its possess.
ing these two characteristics. It gives
the news, and its readers know that
they can believe all they read in its.
+. Daily Report.

What n Snurano L..

The question is frequently asked,
"what is a Silurian 2" It is g word
which so frequently appears in the papers
Of late. and unless a person 10 familiar
with geological terms he fails to under
stand the full meaning Of the word. We
will explain, says an exchange: The geo.
logical history OF She earth is divided into
ages. The first or earliest age Is termed
the Archen or AZoic; second, the Silurian.
II wal in this age that animal life first
appeared, and the life OF this was Of the
lowest order; the Proclamation order
being mollusks, such as CLAIMS. snails. etc.
Therefore, TO say that q man Ia q Silurian
10 equivalent to terming him a clam or q
snail, II is therefore rightly applied to
those persons who are ~antiqusted In their
ideas, old fossils, relics OF past ages, men
without ideas OF progress. people who are
not cognizant Of anything outside OF
their being, men who ought to have been
buried 10 the age TO which their ideas as
sign them. A man who thinks that this
world Is good enough as II il, thinks just
as the clam thought In the Silurian age.
Anyone who opposes public improve
ments, who tries to avoid paying just
taxes, o man who runs down bis own
town, o man who refuses to assist in en-
terprises which would build up the town.
who doesn't help support the local papers,
who buys his goods somewhere else, q
man who Is willing to reap the fruit OF
progress without the labor OF sowing the
seeds. Every town has some Silurians
and sometimes they are in the majority.
Then You see Q dead OWE and when you
enter IL you feel like walking through a
cemetry or looking through q museum
Of fossils and petrifaction. Don't be o
